Lapo Elkann may not be buying Ducati, his was more of a patriotic outcry that the Italian company doesn’t end up in foreign hands, but he is certainly buying a customized Ducati Hypermotard.
The very eccentric heir to the Fiat empire (and possible future president of Ferrari) has ordered a special Hypermotard with a longer saddle and is said to be working on the paint job with Ducati’s design center.
Since Elkann is a super fan of military style liveries – he has a Ferrari 458 Italia, a Jeep Grand Cherokee and a Fiat 500 Abarth all customized with the military/camouflage theme – this Hypermotard is expected to match the same colour scheme.
Hopefully Elkann will be a better rider than driver, just check out where he parked his Ferrari – motorcycle and scooter parking spaces and last year he also parked his SUV on the tram rails in Milan disrupting traffic for over a half and hour.
